Re: Populating a model with form data from external site

[bgooren <ba...@iswd.nl>]

Sophia,

There are a number of solutions to this. I will name two:

1) Use a stateless form, take a look at the HTML (and form action) it
generates, and post to that form from an external site. I have not tested
this myself, but I expect it will work like a charm. Since the form is
stateless, it should always be handle a post, wherever it comes from

2) mount a custom handler on a URL and process the form fields manually.
This is a two-fold process:
- extend (e.g.) URIRequestTargetUrlCodingStrategy, and mount that @
application init
    - decode() is most important to you in this case, you should return an
instance of your IRequestTarget implementation here (see my next point)
- create a second class which implements IRequestTarget and handles the form
submit
    - in respond( RequestCycle ) you can access the HttpServlet through
       HttpServletRequest request = ( (WebRequest) requestCycle.getRequest()
).getHttpServletRequest();

Hope this helps.

Bas
